Over the next few months, we'll present how peoplE have adaptedtheir fieldwork, research and w60rk for sit&-tions such as these. Topics may cover ways to do fieldwork without going to rhe field, library research from 1000 miles away (and without a computer), personal insights into the researcherresearchee relationship, as well as clever ways of managing difJicult situations at work and school.
